Insider Tells the Truth About the Cover-up of the Attack on the USS Liberty

Ward Boston passed away yesterday. Not a single mention on the corporate media, of course.

June 9, 2007 — crescentandcross

‘Son, I spent 2 years as a special agent in the FBI and over 30 yrs in the military, and if it is one thing I learned through all of this, it’s that when you get an order, you say ‘yes sir’ and carry it out with no questions asked’.

This was the response given by Capt. Ward Boston, USN (Ret) to this reporter in a series of recent interviews he gave for American Free Press Newspaper. For those not familiar with Capt. Ward Boston, he played what will one day be recognized as one of the most pivotal roles in recent human history. 40 years ago this upcoming June, he was the senior legal council for the Naval Board of Inquiry concerning the June 8, 1967 attack on the USS Liberty by Israeli Air and Naval forces that resulted in 34 Americans killed and 171 wounded. His job in 1967 was to be part of a hastily-called investigation into the attack, and–as he has recently revealed to the shock of many–to rule that Israel’s 90-minute bloodfest waged against America’s young men was all an ‘accident’ that occurred during ‘the fog of war’, all the evidence to the contrary be damned. In 2002, Capt. Ward broke his silence of 3 decades and released an affidavit to the public in which he admitted that the entire investigation was a sham, and that he was under orders (from persons of no less authority than President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara) to rule that the bloodiest day in American naval history since WWII took place as a result of ‘mistaken identity’ and that America’s ally, Israel–was innocent of any wrongdoing.

For 35 years Capt. Ward lived with the bitter knowledge that his fellow servicemen had been deliberately murdered in what was an act of war by a foreign power and yet because of the orders he received was powerless to say anything. A conflux of events however led him to make the decision to ‘damn the torpedoes’ and to let the chips fall where they may. ‘I’m an old man’ he told AFP. ‘They can’t threaten my job, and if they throw me into jail, so what? The truth has to be told for the benefit of the survivors and for the American people whose sons and daughters are dying today’.

The first of these events leading him to break his silence was the 2002 release of a book entitled ‘The Liberty Incident’ written by Judge Ahron Jay Cristol at a time when America was being drawn into a series of long-term military engagements with countries that just so happened to be enemies of Israel. Through his book and subsequent speaking tour, Cristol (a slavish, shameless, fanatical apologist for the Jewish State who is on more-than-friendly terms with a number of people in both the military and arms industry in Israel) did the usual song and dance when it comes to discussing the terrorist state that attacked America in 1967, which was to argue for unconditional acquittal, using a collage of sloppy yet deliberate misrepresentations and omissions of fact. In Capt. Boston’s words, it was Cristol’s ‘insidious attempt to whitewash the event that pushed me to speak out’.

‘These rats,’ he said, referring to Israel and her defenders. ‘They lie about everything. You can’t believe a word they say’ he told AFP. What was so important about this statement was that Capt. Boston was not just talking about the past, but about the present and future as well. ‘They’ve completely infested the entire Intelligence and Defense apparatus of the United States’ he said. ‘Perle, Feith, Wolfowitz, and all the rest of them…They’re spies for Israel, every damned one of them’ he said. ‘Just consider the 5 guys who were arrested after 9/11, cheering and celebrating, and then afterwards we come to find out that they were Mossad and then they get sent back to Israel. They knew all about it and yet our government, the government I worked for most of my life did nothing about it. Can you imagine if these guys were Arabs?’ he asked. ‘It’s been the same thing, ever since 1967’ he said with unmistakable aggravation. ‘Protect Israel, protect Israel…In the meantime, our boys are dying over there and those who don’t die are coming back here with all sorts of problems, both physical and psychological’.

It was his visit to Israel some years back that clinched it for this man in terms of his feelings for the ‘great experiment’ in Jewish self-rule. ‘The way they treat the Arabs…it’s unconscionable’ he said. ‘You go into Israel, into the only places where they allow the tourists, and it’s the picture of paradise, just as the Soviets used to do. Then you take a detour off the approved itinerary and you see what it is really like…The poverty, misery, abuse. Arab kids being gunned down in broad daylight. It’s worse than South Africa. Only a person with a ice water in his veins could see the way the Arabs are treated and not be outraged’.

As far as the future goes, Capt. Boston is not hopeful. ‘If either they (the Israelis) or the US launches a war against Iran, it will be the beginning of the end’ he said. ‘Armageddon…You’ll have Muslims pouring into the area from all over the world and no army will be able to stop them. They will tear Israel and the Americans to pieces.’

As far as his reaction to the predictable accusations of ‘anti-Semitism’ that have been leveled against him for telling the truth concerning the attack on the Liberty, he laughs it off. ‘One of my closest friends growing up was Jewish’ he said. ‘I don’t have a prejudiced bone in my body. What we are dealing with here is an act of war initiated against the United States, the country I swore an oath to defend, period. If a proper investigation into the attack on the Liberty had been allowed to take place and the American people made aware of what happened, we would not be in the middle of this mess in the Middle East now.’

He didn't even rate a Wiki article. Or a mention anywhere on the web according to Google News search at this time.

That's the US and Israel's grand plan, just wait for the USS Liberty survivors to die off and thus remain eternally silent.

RIP

Hi T/JD,

Doesn't this make you sick to the teeth?

People know more about GD f****** Britney Spears than any of these men.

But you're right, JD. They just sit it out and wait. One day they'll all be gone.

If any of you two runs into Cowboy, shoot him. I'll pay for the bullets.

Did the USS LIberty Crewmembers lie under oath ??

I say they did not.

Most others here say that they may have lied, or avoid the question entirely.

Why is that?

Listen up you retarded dipshit anti-American neocon for Israel.

HOW CAN YOU OR ANYBODY DETERMINE OR MAKE ANY CONCLUSION OF THE CREW'S TESTIMONY WHETHER TRUTHFUL WHEN FILES, TAPES AND REPORTS ARE STILL CLASSIFIED? AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN An HONEST, OPEN CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION OF THE ISRAELI DELIBERATE ATTACK ON THE SHIP?

Answer the question your fucking liar, fraud and phony.

Everyone on this forum knows your sole motive is to cast doubt and suspicion on the USS Liberty crew, their dead, their sacrifices, their honor and integrity or their families who seek answers. You don't even deny it.
Like you even have a clue what the above is even about. Your spamming shit gets old.

Your phoniness speaks for itself. IT IS YOU AND ONLY WHO CONTINUALLY OPPOSES THEIR QUEST FOR THE TRUTH. IT IS YOU WHO WISHES TO DENY THAT THEIR STATEMENTS NEVER BECOME AN OFFICIAL RECORD.

Fuck you , AIPAC and Israel, you're just shit, a phony, untrustworthy band of liars and frauds.

Here is an excellent article about Captain Ward Boston which appeared in the San Diego Union Tribune:

NAVY CAPTAIN, OTHER OFFICIALS CALL FOR INVESTIGATION OF
ISRAEL'S ATTACK ON USS LIBERTY

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/military/20040217-9999-1n17liberty.html

Can read Captain Ward Boston's declaration via the following URL:

The sham of the Court of Inquiry is conveyed via the interview with Captain Ward Boston in the article by Delinda Hanley of the Washington Report of Middle East Affairs (scroll down to it at the following URL as the treacherous Israeli attack on the USS Liberty was the last straw for me and would be for many other America first patriots which is why Israel first fifth columnists in the USA have perpetuated the cover-up for decades):

http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/uss-liberty/2003/05/03/the-attack-on-the-uss-liberty-page-3.php

USS Liberty officer Lloyd Painter witnessed the Israeli torpedo boats deliberately machine gunning the Liberty's life rafts as such testimony was given by him for the Court of Inquiry and was censored out of the final version of it for obvious reasons (the treacherous Israelis have at least one of the Liberty's machine gunned life rafts on display in a museum in Israel).

Be sure to read this 'Friendless Fire' article as well which appeared in the prestigious 'Proceedings' publication:

Ward Boston; Investigated Attack on USS Liberty

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/19/AR2008061903589_pf.html

By Chelsea J. Carter
Associated Press
Friday, June 20, 2008; B07

SAN DIEGO -- Ward Boston, 84, a former Navy attorney who helped investigate the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 crew members and said years later that President Lyndon B. Johnson had ordered that the assault be ruled an accident, has died.

The retired Navy captain died June 12 of complications from pneumonia at a San Diego area hospital, his wife, Emma Boston, said Wednesday. He lived in Coronado, Calif.

Capt. Boston was assigned as a legal adviser to a military board of inquiry investigating the attack on the Liberty, an electronic-intelligence-gathering ship that was cruising international waters off the Egyptian coast June 8, 1967. Israeli planes and torpedo boats opened fire on the Liberty in the midst of the Israeli-Arab Six-Day War.

In addition to the 34 fatalities, more than 170 were wounded.

Israel has long maintained that the attack was a case of mistaken identity, an explanation that the Johnson administration did not formally challenge. Israel said its forces thought the ship was an Egyptian vessel and apologized to the United States.

After the attack, a Navy court of inquiry concluded that there was insufficient information to make a judgment about why Israel attacked the ship, stopping short of assigning blame or determining that it was an accident.

In 2002, Capt. Boston said Johnson and his defense secretary, Robert McNamara, had told those leading the Navy's inquiry to "conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary," according to a signed affidavit.

Capt. Boston said that he kept his silence because he was a military man and that "when orders come . . . I follow them." He said he felt compelled to go public after the publication of the book "The Liberty Incident," which concluded that the attack was unintentional.

Capt. Boston said in a legal declaration that he was certain the Israeli pilots knew the Liberty, which clearly displayed American flags and had markings in English, not Arabic, was a U.S. Navy ship.

Retired Adm. Thomas H. Moorer, a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who investigated the attack as part of an independent panel he formed with other former military officials, wrote in 1997 that he thought Israel intentionally attacked the Liberty to conceal that it was preparing to seize the Golan Heights from Syria.

A. Jay Cristol, a U.S. bankruptcy court judge who wrote "The Liberty Incident," said in the book that 10 U.S. and three Israeli investigations found no evidence of any Israeli intent to attack an American ship.

Capt. Boston is survived by his wife and three children.
